MINSK, Belarus -- Germany and Norway won their second straight games at the ice hockey world championships on Sunday, while France failed to build on its upset victory over Canada as it lost 2-1 to Italy. Germany beat Latvia 3-2 after Thomas Oppenheimer scored the winner on a penalty in the third period, squeezing the puck between the pads of goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis. Germany took the lead with goals from Marcel Noebels and Frank Mauer but Georgijs Pujacs and Mikelis Redlihs helped Latvia come back each time. Norway held off Denmark 4-3 after rallying from an early 2-0 deficit. Morten Poulsen and Frederik Storm had given the Danes the lead with two goals in 20 seconds, before Norway rallied with goals from Jonas Holos, Ken Andre Olimb, Per-Age Skroder and Mats Trygg. Jannik Hansen pulled one back for Denmark. Host Belarus earned its first win of the tournament by beating Kazakhstan 4-1. Kazakstan took the lead through Andrei Gavrilin, but Andrei Stepanov equalized and then set up Nikolai Stasenko for the winner in the second period in front of 15,000 roaring and jumping home fans. Sergei Kostitsy added a short-handed goal in the third and captain Alexei Kalyuzhny scored the fourth into an empty net. Germany has five points in Group B after two matches while Latvia and Belarus have three each and Kazakhstan has one. "I have to be happy with my teams performance," Germany coach Pat Cortina said. "That was a step into the right direction after yesterday." Markus Gander gave Italy its first victory of the tournament by scoring the winner with 58 seconds remaining against France. "It was great to get our first win and get our confidence going," Italy coach Tom Pokel said. Norway has six points in Group A while Italy, a newcomer to the top division, has three points, France is on two and Denmark has zero.

Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. The latest from Bob As tweeted by TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie on Monday, the Columbus Blue Jackets need to resolve their offseason plans with forward R.David Moyes and Malky Mackay have both put their names forward in connection with managing Celtic, should either be approached in the future. The former Celtic defenders are both unemployed and are taking their time over returning to management roles.Celtic are currently chasing a league and Scottish Cup double under current boss Ronny Deila, who picked up two of the three available domestic trophies last season. But a poor Europa League campaign on the back of Celtics failure to qualify for the Champions League has put Deila under extra pressure this season.Deilas future is a constant topic of discussion in the media, and two Scottish broadcasters again raised the subject on Tuesday. David Moyes in action for Celtic in 1980 Moyes was asked by a regional broadcaster if he would consider a return to the Hoops, and the former Preston, Everton, Manchester United and Real Sociedad boss hinted that only financial restrictions would be a stumbling block.Everybody knows my time at Celtic was great. I was a young player and played with great players at Celtic. Celtics been a great llove of mine, Moyes said.dddddddddddd.Who knows, who knows, I would never say never but obviously Ive got ambitions to win things.Id want to be at a club that would give me every chance to win and be involved in the Champions League and be at the top level.Im saying this with total respect but I dont think the Celtic squad is good enough to reach the levels that they want. Thats a no-brainer if you ask me. Former Celtic defender Malky Mackay playing for the team in 1998 Meanwhile, Mackay informed Scotlands national radio broadcaster that managing Celtic would be his dream job, should the former Cardiff boss ever be given the opportunity.Of course it is, Mackay said. Its a fabulous club. But Im loathe to talk about specific clubs, particularly when managers are in place, because it happened to me.Its not nice when you hear vultures touting for your job. That has a lack of class.
